Just as they were having their family dose of pain and sorrow over Donald's fate, Andrew's phone rang.

"Your phone is ringing Andrew. You should pick it up". Elena said.

"It can wait, Elena, what's important now is you, right now you and your mother needs me and that's all that matters now. Every other thing can wait" Andrew said.

"No, just pick up the call it could be something important. We already have a lot on the table as it is" Elena insisted.

Andrew stepped away to pick up the call only to get the biggest shock of his life that the police had just raided his store and they had found a lot of incriminating evidence against him in terms of sexual scandals and illegal trafficking of drugs.

Andrew was shocked to hear the news, the drug business has always been a secret no one knew. the police who knew about it had always been tipped off about it to keep the secret. 

So how come they raided his store? All these questions ran through his mind simultaneously.

"No no…you must be joking they raided my store? how?, When? what's going on?" Andrew asked.

"Sir, you need to get here as soon as you can" his assistant replied.

"Okay, I will be there as soon as possible" Andrew replied.

As Andrew returned to Elena and Mrs Harrington, they could see the worry written all over his face.

"What's wrong? Elena asked.

"The police… the police, they just raided my store and they found a lot of evidence. I… I, need to go now." Andrew explained.

"Boss, the deed has been done. Mr Andrews's store has been raided and everything is being confiscated as we speak" Steven reported to Jared.

"You know I was thinking of what punishment to give Andrew before I found out about his drug trafficking business. It made the whole work easier for me. I will make him lick my feet and even do worse to him just as he treated me in the past"Jared said.

"I am sure he is on his way to his store now. Make sure he is arrested and taken to the location as planned" Jared ordered.

"Andrew tell me you are joking, the police raided your store? How?" Elena asked confused.

"I just got off the call now from my assistant, they are still raiding my store as we speak, I need to be there before they take that evidence to the station. That evidence could ruin my life completely" Andrew said with his voice shaking.

"Okay, I will go with you," Elena said.

"No, stay with your mum. Your mom and dad need you. I will be fine. We have a lot on the table like you said let me go and do this. I need to get to the store before the police take away the evidence" Andrew explained as he left the courthouse hurriedly.

Andrew saw that the police had packed up all the evidence just as they were about to leave his store, he drove in.

 "Please, there must be a misunderstanding. I will call you the commissioner of police and speak to him you must be mistaken" Andrew said pleading with the police not to take the evidence away.

"Mr Andrews, you are under arrest for sexual scandal, embezzlement of cash, and trafficking of hard drugs and you have the right to remain silent," The police said as he handcuffed Andrew into the van.

While all this was happening, Andrew was trying to comprehend what was going on and who must have tipped the police or sold him off to the police.

While he was being transported, he requested to make a call.

 "Please I just need to make one call". Andrew pleaded.

"You can't make any call!" The policeman yelled at Andrew.

Elena took her mum hoping to hear something from Andrew soon but the day went by without hearing any news and she decided to pay a visit to the shop only to find out that the store had been locked down and placed under investigation.

She knew at once that something was wrong it was either Andrew was arrested or he had gone into hiding at that moment she knew she had to go to the police on getting to the station she was told Andrew was not in their district she became more confused thinking of who could have arrested him.

 She later got a call, it was Andrew.

Elena, I have been arrested and I have been charged with cases which would lead me to life imprisonment. Please you need to do something you need to make as many contacts as you can and reach out to anybody that can help me please Elena" Andrew pleaded.

"Just hang in there Andrew, I will do all I can do, within and beyond my power to get you out of prison I promise". Elena responded.

"Elena, please you have to do something the only person that can help us right now is the legal holdings conglomerate and you have to make sure that the police do not find out about the non-governmental secret organisation we have been keeping for years".

"It could ruin all we have worked for Elena" 

"I promise I will keep this secret within my power by all means" Elena promised before ending the call.

She knew somebody was attacking them but she just could not think of who it could be at the moment she knew the only situation, the only solution was to reach out to the legal Holdings conglomerate to help them immediately.

She drove off to the company to see Alexander but just as she was about to enter the legal holdings building. she met countless reporters outside it's like they planned it all.

It's not like they knew she was coming, immediately she had to reverse she knew having Interviews with the reporters was not a good idea especially now with all that is going on.

She went back home and her dad was already talking. The dad already knew something was up when the mum was crying and he could not find Donald anywhere.

There was no way they could hide it from him they had to spill the truth. 

"Father, the nongovernmental secret organization is out," Elena told her father.

Mr Harrington could not believe his ears as he went into another shock.

"no… no… no, all my hard work will not go down the drain," he said as he went into a coma again.

Mrs Harrington could not control her tears. 

"Elena, you have to find out who is behind this. You have to go to the legal Holdings conglomerate and beg whomsoever is in charge. I heard Mr Sinclair is now the president. You have to reach out to him and talk to him and make sure you get him to help us before it is too late".

"We lost Donald already, we are losing the company already and now Andrew has been arrested. You have to do something Elena" Mrs Harrington said freightened.

"I will make sure to get us out of this mess as soon as I can Mom," Elena said giving her mom hope even though she was confused herself.

It was not up to forty-eight hours after Andrews's arrest, that he was released after his image and reputation as been ruined. The store has been taken over by the unknown police and his house has been confiscated by the government. He had nowhere else to go he had to go back to the Harrington mansion.

Elena's thought was interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" she asked.

"It's me Elena, open the door"

Elena opened the door only for her to meet Andrew she was shocked and curious to know how he was released looking all tattered.

"How did you get here? who did this to you?" Elena asked as she ushered him in.

 "I don't know Elena. Everything I have has been taken away from me. I have nothing except the clothes I'm wearing. please we have to do something. Elena, you have to go to the conglomerate to beg that's our only option now" Andrew said looking weak and pale.

"I will go tomorrow and see what I can do," Elena said.

The next day, Elena got up early and got all dressed in disguise just to make sure people would not recognize her.

"Young master, Elena is here to see you," Alexander said.

"I have been patiently waiting for this day. Bring her in" Jared ordered.

"Mr. Sinclair will see you now," Alexander said ushering Elena to Jared's office.

Jared stood by the window backing Elena as she came in. As Elena entered Jared's office unknowingly to her. She went on her feet immediately without even seeing who she was talking to.

"Mr Sinclair, please I beg of you. Have mercy on my family. We are in desperate need of your help. We have almost lost everything. You are the only one that can help us now" Elena pleaded while still on her knees.

"And what makes you think I will help you and your wretched family?" Jared said as he turned to look at Elena.

    "Babe, when did you get back last night?" Olivia asked as he saw that he was already dressed up for work the next day."Uh, I came in late and you were already asleep and I don't want to disturb you which was why I did not wake you up." He explained."And you are already up for work as early as this already?" She asked."Yes, today is the big day and I need you to send me the list of everything you would want me to get for you." He said as he pecked her cheek and left the house before she could say a word."Aram, Steven, Sierra, you can all release everything we have against Mr Darkota and we can watch the confusion start reeling in the next five minutes." He ordered as they all watched the big screen to witness how everything would go down live."Dad!, Dad!, What is going on?" Everything we have worked for us going down the drain!"

    "What?" Vanessa asked as she was trying to figure out why he was staring at her in quite a strange way."How about me think about it and give you a feedback by tomorrow." He said."Why would you want to think about it when you can just say yes right now." She said surprised that he was still having some doubts after all she has tried to sound a convincing as possible."But then, I am very sure that you know quite well that I can also turn down your offer and nothing is absolutely wrong with me doing that. So would you let me sleep over it?" He asked again this time sounding very stern and serious about it."Okay then, it's not like I have a choice here but then that would only be on one condition.* She said trying to sound as demanding as she can.Jared scoffed upon hearing what she had just said. He was so surprised that she was still audacious enough to want to make a demand when he could easily just throw her out of his office. But then, he is that he just to keep coming get for as

    "I know who my father really is and I am here to help and support you. All you just have to do is fill in me on how far you have planned to bring him down." She said trying to sound as convincing as possible.Jared did not expect that this was going to be her way of getting into him. He did not know that she was that dumb enough to think that she would just show up and she would then really think that he would tell her all of his plans when he is quite aware of the fact that she was working with her father."I have not even the slightest idea what you are talking about but then I would like to know about it." "I mean I am surprised to hear this. This definitely means that your father is also up to something and I would like to hear of it from you considering the fact that you are his favorite daughter. Am I right?* He asked reading her expression carefully.She was silent for a moment as she tried to think of the perfect reply to give to him as she could clearly see that he was tryin

She said still staring at him seductively.Immediately, Jared knew the game she was trying to play with him and he know exactly what he needs to do. He already knew she was going to coke try her tricks with him considering the fact that she is working with her father but then he was not expecting her to come this soon. This was just the second day of his dakw marriage to her eldest sister and she just could not wait nor tolerate the fact that her sister is finally out of their clutches."Two can play at this game better then." He said straight at her intently."What did you say?" She said trying to pick his words not missing out any details."I said you are completely right about that. I mean you are sister in laws anyways so you don't necessarily have to seek for permission before coming to see me." He said trying to confirm what she had just said earlier."U

    "We have to confirm if he will be at work tomorrow or not." She said."And how do we confirm that?" He asked."By giving him a call tomorrow morning. Calling him tomorrow morning would only seem like the normal thing that a father us supposed to do. It's more like you just checking on your beloved daughter so I am very sure that they would definitely not read any meaning to it." Nessa explained."Which after that we would be able to tell if he would be going to work and when he would be leaving precisely. We know for sure that he work definitely go to work but we are not just sure yet because Jared would also be working on his own plan on how to beat us at this game and we also have to come prepared.""What about going to see them wherever they might be." Her father suggested."Dad, do you really think Jared would disclose his whereabouts to us?, You should know that he would definitely not do that because that is the only way that he can keep Olivia away from us because then she woul

He asked curious to know exactly what she was talking about."I don't know how it happened dad." She said fidgeting in her speech."Speak to me Nessa and tell me exactly what happened!" He said sounding really impatient to hear whatever it is that she has to say."Jared and Olivia are no where to be found." She explained."What do you mean by they are no where to be found?" He asked curiously."I mean I thought that they were suppose to come to the sinclair empire after the wedding which supposedly ought to be their matrimonial home but then we could not find them anywhere. It's more like they vanished into thin air. I mean we have all been keeping watch for the past two hours which the drive from the venue to the mansion is no more than thriys minutes." She explained."So what you are trying to say to me now is the fact that they did not come to the house after the wedding. Is tha
